Using checkinstall on amd64

[Andy Main]

Hi there,

I was just trying to use checkinstall to install a package I was making,
however I get the following message:

dpkg: error
processing /home/mainas1/PDFlib-Lite-6.0.1/pdflib-lite-6.0.1_6.0.1-1_x86_64.deb (--install):
 package architecture (x86_64) does not match system (amd64)

Basically as you can see the arch on the package (maybe from gcc?), is
not the same as that of my system.  Any ideas how to sort this one out?

Thanks,

Andy.
